{"product_id":"latifa-my-forbidden-face-2002-paperback","title":"Latifa: My Forbidden Face [2002] paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eLatifa was born into an educated middle-class Afghan family in Kabul in 1980. She dreamed of one day of becoming a journalist, she was interested in fashion, movies and friends. Her father was in the import\/export business and her mother was a doctor.\u003cbr\u003eThen in September 1996, Taliban soldiers seized power in Kabul. From that moment, Latifa, just 16 years old became a prisoner in her own home. Her school was closed. Her mother was banned from working. The simplest and most basic freedoms - walking down the street, looking out a window - were no longer hers. She was now forced to wear a chadri. \u003cbr\u003eMy Forbidden Face provides a poignant and highly personal account of life under the Taliban regime. With painful honesty and clarity Latifa describes the way she watched her world falling apart, in the name of a fanatical interpretation of a faith that she could not comprehend. Her voice captures a lost innocence, but also echoes her determination to live in freedom and hope.  \u003cbr\u003eEarlier this year, Latifa and her parents escaped Afghanistan with the help of a French-based Afghan resistance group.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Latifa","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":53215131828563,"sku":"9781860499616","price":14.27,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":53215131861331,"sku":"XV81860499616","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/latifa-latifa-my-forbidden-face-2002-paperback-1226803291.jpg?v=1773176589","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/latifa-my-forbidden-face-2002-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
